According to the report on December 27 on India's "printing" website, a report by the Indian Comptroller General's Office showed that the Indian Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) had delayed submitting project proposals for 569 weeks, forcing the Indian defense forces to either import key military technologies or wait hard. According to the report, "out of 75 ongoing projects, the audit department analyzed 40 ongoing projects... The audit department noted that there was an unusual delay in the initiation of project proposals and the approval of projects in 31 projects". According to the report, it took DRDO 17 to 569 weeks to submit proposals for 29 projects, compared with the 16 week deadline for formulating comprehensive project proposals. In addition, after submitting the user requisition, the approval time of the Ministry of Defense was also quite delayed, ranging from 29 weeks to 577 weeks. According to the report, these delays resulted in "users being forced to import or unable to obtain the required goods". For example, as early as 2008, the Indian Air Force put forward the requirement for the development of cartridges to the Arms Research and Trial Production Plant (ARDE) - DRDO's laboratory. The delivery time is required to be one year. However, ARDE spent five years analyzing and developing the method of domestic ammunition, which cost 7 billion rupees (about 590 million yuan). It did not approve the project until March 2014, and spent another 5 billion rupees. In July 2018, it claimed that the development was "successful", while the Air Force Headquarters was forced to import 2000 cartridges in July 2014. (Outlook New Times)
